Centurion Rohan Dsouza helps DHFL thrash HDIL in JD Sports Club Corporate T20 match
It was completely a one sided affair at Young Muslims Cricket Ground, Mumbai on 12th March when DHFL took on HDIL during the JD Sports Club Corporate T20 Cricket Tournament. Jitendra Deshmukh, who was a player first, then coach and umpire is the man behind this tournament. He has different feathers to his cricketing cap.
Batting first, DHFL posted a mammoth 201-2 in 20 overs, courtesy a brilliant knock from Rohan Dsouza (100 not out of 61 balls). He was ruthless and smacked the bowlers all-round the park. In his century, he slammed 14 boundaries and a six. Rohan was a complete entertainment package was a treat to the eyes. Shiva Konar who came in at no.3 scored a wonderful 69 off just 46 balls, hitting 10 boundaries and a six. Towards the end, Sandeep Godiyal played a cameo, with 22 runs (two boundaries and as many sixes) off mere 9 cherries. Ajay Nalawade and Rakesh accounted for one scalp each.
It was not going to be easy for HDIL to chase such a mountain-like target. They were done and dusted for a humble 82 in 14.4 overs. Kiran (22) and Jitendra (20) were the only two players to score in double digit. Dipesh and Nilay were the wreckers-in-chief, picking up three wickets apiece. DHFL registered a comprehensive win of 119 runs over HDIL.
Rohan Dsouza (100 not out of 61 balls) for his classic knock was awarded with the Man of the Match prize.
